Among the commeniabie measures that can

storing them to the public domain, and a
generous appropriation to rehabllitate the
navy These can all be credited to the first

j. A ~VANDEVERE
The WelI-known C~attIeman. Lying at
the Point of Death.

1t will pain the large number of friends
of Mr.. Vandevere to learn of his present
dangerous and apparently fatal illness.
The gentleman is at the residence OF Mr..
NJ. f. Stark, in this city, and for the past
week has been suffering the untold agonies
of that dread disease, consumption. All
that mortal could do has been done for
Mr.. Vandevere, and last night DR.. Gray.
who has been attending him, stated that
he would probably not see the light of
another day. A few weeks ago Mr.. Van
devere returned from Texas, where he
made several trades in cattle and arranged
for several shipments to be made next
spring. He had apparently derived
great benefit from his trip and was look
ing very much improved; but it appears
that while in that country he contracted
a malarial fever, which fastened his pres
ent illness. His parents are living in
Dakota, and numerous attempts were
made to inform them of his illness yester-
day, but without success.

THE FIVE MILE BURNED,
q. e. CharIton's Ranch Destroyed by
Fire.

At $50 O'Clock yesterday morning the
large two story frame building, popularity
known as the Five Mile. was totally de-
stroyed by fire. Nothing remains of the
building and its contents but a mass of
debris. There being only one person
present, and the nearest assistance three
miles distant, it was impossible to check
the flames.
That the above place had burned was
comparatively unknown in this city yes
terday; even the firm who held the insur-
ance upon the building did not know of it
until asked by a LEADER reporter, last
evening. ABOUT the insurance.
There was only one person, George
Brown, about the premises at the time,
and he discovered the fire only in time to
escape safely from the burning building.
The building was owned by MIR. G. C.
Charlton, of this city, who is at present
in Lusk, and contained a costly bar and
fixtures, as well as being completely fur
nishcd throughout. and as nothing of any
value was saved, the building and con-
tents were all consumed. The building
was insured for 81, 500 and the contents
for $500, with Snow & Hostord, of this
city. Miss Netfie HUH lost about $500
worth Of furniture, but whether insured
or not is not known. The fire is supposed
to have originated in some manner from
the fire in the stove in the kitchen.
